New research presented at the Europlanet Science Congress 2025 in Helsinki suggests that Venus may be concealing some of the ...

The air on Venus is about 96.5% carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas. All that CO2 leads to a runaway greenhouse effect ...

Lava tubes are familiar on Earth. They form when the surface of a lava flow hardens while molten rock continues to drain ...

Venus is often called Earth's "sister planet" because of their similarities in size, mass, and composition. Both are rocky ...

Venus, the second planet from our Sun, vividly demonstrates why the greenhouse effect makes life impossible. With an average surface temperature of roughly 1000º F (500º C) under a toxic atmosphere ...

When scientists recently took a closer look at archival images of the surface of Venus, they discovered something new: evidence of volcanic activity on Earth's "twin." The NASA Magellan spacecraft ...

Scientists have proposed a new explanation for Venus' giant, crown-shaped geological features, known as coronae.

Believe it or not, many astronomers would describe the planet Venus as Earth's “evil twin.” After all, it is the same size, ...

Venus — a hot planet pocked with tens of thousands of volcanoes — may be even more geologically active near its surface than previously thought. New calculations by researchers at Washington ...

Despite the hopes of both astronomers and sci-fi fans alike, Venus may never have been habitable to life. This is the conclusion of a new study out of the University of Cambridge, which has been ...

UNSPECIFIED - JANUARY 13: A volcano named Sapas Mons dominates this computer-generated view of the surface of Venus. Lava flows extend for hundreds of kilometers across the fractured plains shown in ...
